Name	Time	Method
Rate of De-escalation Treatment	3-year after the last subject participating in	The Rate of De-escalation Treatment is defined as the proportion of patients among a study population who receive a reduction in the intensity or scope of therapeutic interventions.
Disease-Free Survival (DFS)	3-year after the last subject participating in	Disease-Free Survival (DFS) is defined as the duration of time from the initiation of surgery until the recurrence of the disease or death from any cause, whichever comes first.
Cumulative Risk of Recurrence	3-year after the last subject participating in	The Cumulative Risk of Recurrence is defined as the cumulative probability or risk of disease recurrence over a specified period, considering the entire study population.
3-year Overall Survival (OS) Rate	3-year after the last subject participating in	3-year Overall Survival (OS) Rate is defined as the percentage of patients who are still alive three years after the initiation of a specific treatment, regardless of disease recurrence or progression.
